West Ham could well be the last man standing in the pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
That’s the latest from West Ham insider ExWHUEmployee, who has given his latest updates on the Hammers’ striker search. Toney was on target for England earlier tonight in the Euro 24 penalty shootout victory against Switzerland, having come on as a late substitute.
New West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui is known to be a fan of the forward, having complimented him while he was manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Originally, there were a number of clubs in the running for Toney; however, they appear to have fallen by the wayside, with Brentford receiving no firm bids for the player. Originally valued at £100 million, the West London club has had to drastically reduce their valuation, particularly in light of the player serving a suspension for betting irregularities.
Whilst Toney is an excellent player, he still carries a hefty price tag for someone who will be 29 years of age early in the new year. For that reason, it’s understandable why nobody has made a firm bid yet. At the right price, the former Peterborough striker could be an excellent signing. However, if Brentford continues to value him at £50 million, he may not move at all.
Would be a good signing but price has to be right.
Does anyone know and concrete rumours
30 million at best
I believe we just paid £40mill for, and gave a 7 year contract to 27 year old Kilman. So he will be 34 at the end of his contract. Are 5 year contracts no longer a thing? If they are then Ivan Toney would be only 33 at the end of it. I’d love to see him in our team!
👍
To be fair Toney would be a great addition to the team I’m just surprised we did not try to sign him ages ago. Whether he is worth 50 million is debatable, but, worth a punt surely!

Think ur spot on
He is overpriced and too old, we are supposed to be changing the way we go about our recruitment.
We will not get any sell on value and will probably drop off after 30 years old.
He’s quality, he has amazing
balance and composure, I would be chuffed if we got him.
No more than 35 million would work and he’d be better than Scamacca .
50M…..
🤔
No thanks
I think Arsenal spoke to him and were put off by his attitude
Not for 50m. Half that MAYBE. His form fell off and he’s not getting any younger.
But rice is over 100 million
Toney wouldnt join West ham either why swap one mid table for another
Because he wants to play in a 62000 stadium with a more ambitious historic club.
BUY THIS MAN!!!!
Natural goal scorer, huge desire to win and would be a maccive upgrade for us
